' wlTNEssEs rllmeans for the i edges 11 are exposed. In this' position, theV 'troducedand the projecting ends oiflaps 17 of the liner strip 13lare tucked in betweenV thebody 10 and the i'iller 18 to coverand con- Y ceal the filler, as clearly illustrated Yures 4i and` 5. The final step consists in nowV inverting the strip 10 so that the ends having the-'bound edges v11'are brought together, vas

surface 12` completely exposed. Due to the convexity ofthe bound'v edges v11 vin vthe'inal Y v form of `the puff, said edges Ywill be closely v disposed adjacent each other to pr-event'gapinv. The userv may insert the fingers Itk is also obviousthat the` fingers may be iiiserted veither .way due to' the fact that fa double pocket 20 is formed betwen the liner strip 13 and the ends of the body.` 10 havingy Y From'the foregoingv operation,it will thus 'beV seen that no lhand' theY bound edges V11.

stitching operation is required Yand hence the l puffs will be of a moreV uniform nature, presenting la iieater 'appearance and eliminating home work and the unsanitary Aconditions incident thereto. It ris also apparent that when necessary the puff body .maybe in'- verted, the filler removed and the'v body 'y washed, after'which la' newvr'filler may be placedtherein. v l. V

The completed powder Vpuff is composed of a sheet or length of material 10 which Vhas its opposite ends Yfoldedover the remaining portion an'dfjo'ined thereto by a stitched seam whichis disposed Vwithin the'coniines of the luff' body whichiis thus provided.' In view of the fact that thebound endedges 11'are unsecured', itis obvious that a transverse slit Y or opening is afforded which allows for the inversion`V ofv 'the' "body and which affords troduction of the fingers to hold the puff wheninnse. `By providing a lining 13 between which Vand the remaining unslitted disposed,-it is obvious that the users fingers do not come in contact with thefilling. e #While the Vpuff r`is illustrated as of 'square or rectangularconfiguration, itis to be understood thatvthere .is no intention of restricting the invention thereto and th at other, shapes may be resorted to which are possible.

lWhat is claimed is:l y

1. A powder puff constructed Vfrom alength of material having its opposite endsV folded over the remaining portion 'and joined theretoby an inwardly. disposed'stitched seam 50 .with'f'the edges of said ends unsecured lto provide a transverse' slitintermediate vthe V"length'of the puff through Whichrtheihngers may be introduced for manipulating theppuff,

a filler within said body. and a lining cover- "5 ing said iillerand between whichand the un` length l of material having in Fig-j illustrated in Figures v5 and 6 Vwith the nap wall of the pu tlieinaterial V18 slitted wall of the puff the said filler is positioned. Y Y

u 2. A powder puff constructed f from a its opposite ends folded over the remaining Vportion and joined thereto by an inwardly dispose'd'stitched seamH with the edges of saidends unsecured to provide a transverse slit intermediate the length of the puff through which the fingers may be introduced for manipulating the puff, aV filler within said body and a lining covering said filler andv betweenV which andthe unslitted lwall of the jpuif the said filler is positioned, the said lining being secured in place bythe same line of stitching which joins the seamv aforementioned. p i Y A method ofv manufacturing powder puffsV consisting invfoldingthe ends ofthe length of body material over onto the .remain- `ing portion,

superimposing a' lining material thereon,"stitching lthrough the: marginal side edges vof the body and lining materials, inverting said joined body and lining niaterials, introducing a filling Vmaterial there between and `finally inverting the body material through the slitformed by the unsecured Vend edges thereof.

4.-. A method of manufacturing powder puffs including the steps of folding over the ends of a Vlength of body materia-l onto the remaining portion, so that the maj or portion of said endsliein the samevplane with each other and parallel to said'remainingpoi'tion,

said folded length of material and inverting said body through the slit formed between the unsecured'e'ndfed'ges thereof.. y Y

5. A powder puf'consisting'y o'f a single length ofmaterial'having the opposite/end Y stitching through the marginal side edges of a superimposed relationand means disposed within the confines of and concealed by "the body for j oiniiig'V said inwardlyffoldedsuperimposed sideedges to providesaijd-body with opposite walls, one of which is provided withV a transverse slit'fas'and for the purposes specified.

6. A powderV puff including a hollow body' 'constructed'from a single piece of material Vhaving `opposite end portions extending. inL
